Best deadline day in ages. Yes we left it late, (As TS said we would with a couple), but all in all I think this was a pretty good window. Hope we can somehow end up with another Left Back because that hole is still very glaring, but I am very happy with the business we've done. Don't really think we were fishing in the bargain barrel for any of these either. Money spent, which is good news
WHAT IF all these shit players we've got, plus the 2 extra shit ones "in the bag", all gell and a decent keeper comes in on loan in the next couple of weeks?
Give em a chance ffs
Amen!
"Adults" on here need to have a good look at themselves. Squad is looking decent and a chance for a free transfer or 2 if need be.
Righting off CBT and co makes me wonder why people even bother supporting the team
Ok it was a League 2 defence, but for 60 minutes CBT was excellent tonight, as a winger or running inside. His goal was bizarre but he still scored.
If we can just have some luck with players not constantly getting injured we may have a chance of some consistency.
I didn't think we were ever going to replace Aneke but I guess we are hoping that our 4 wingers plus Lee will score goals.
Only listened on the radio but sounded like Crawley were awful down the flank CBT was playing and he could waltz through their defence at will. Need to see him do it against a decent league one defence.
Leko is a weird one. Kirk, DJ, CBT, Clayden. Do we need another winger?
Imo......No.
But you've been calling for a pacey striker? Leko scored 1 in 4 for us in the Champ and let's be honest, we wasn't a particularly good side who created loads of chances each game.
My concern is in the 65 games he’s played for other teams - including his last 38 for Birmingham - he’s scored exactly zero goals.
Kermorgant had scored around 17 in 110 appearances before he joined us.
Very happy with attacking players of the quality of Lee & Leko coming in. Pleasantly suprised about the Morecambe CB too (glad we've learnt from last season not to take risks in important positions where we have injury prone players).
Another Left back is less critical. Purrington is solid, back in training & will be fit for our next game against Cheltenham in circa two weeks (so not bringing in another really is not the end of the world).
Definitely feeling more optimistic than I did after the Wigan match a couple of weeks back.
Pleased with the Lavelle signing, young, hungry, room to improve, Morecambe captain, played over 40 odd games last season, three year deal. Welcome Sam.

Looks a very good XI to me. Second XI of:
Harness (emergency loan if needed) Gunter Lavelle Pearce Roddy Morgan Dobson CBT Gilbey Leko Washington
Plus Watson, Davison and Schwartz. I don't think we'll run away with the league but it looks reasonably strong. There is an obvious weakness but I doubt many League 1 sides can genuinely say they don't have a position or two that looks weak.
That’s it, I’m off for a snooze, window has truely slammed shut, I’m sure there’s more to follow, and some will be happy, and some will not be happy, and some are just … well never happy!

Subs: Harness, Gunter, Lavelle, Watson, Clare, Lee, Washington
Me thinks we have quite a good squad
No way will Morgan play in front of Lee or Arter
No way will Lee be part of a midfield 2 in a 442! He's not a central midfielder, he's either a second (and slightly withdrawn) second striker in a 442 (4411), or he's the part of a 3 man midfield in a 433
Good window, good squad. congrats Recruitment team, NA and TS. Automatic promotion here we come. COYR
Why is this liked so much? Good window my arse
I think it is has now been a good window. It hadn't been when the season started. We are in the promotion race and anyone that thinks otherwise is simply unhappy for other reasons, nothing to do with Charlton. COYR & thanks to Thomas Sandgaard & the team.
CB, ST, LB concerns me. Other than that, all good.
The good thing about getting Leko (hopefully) is that Washington can go back to being a striker. With Stockley, Washington, Davison + Lee/Leko up there if required we should have enough up top

Add to that Davison , Elejwrere and Barker who in my mind are all getting close

after his first 2 appearances has shown how much quality he has and will create and do more than morgan

We've brought in some good players but we are still woefully short as a squad in my opinion. One injury to Stockley and the season is over.

The goalkeeper can be filled by an emergency loan quite easily, the glaring hole is at left back, and has been since the last game of last season
